Beginning the blogging journey

Although I am not new to WBT, I am new to blogging. It seems there is always something new to experience in the teaching field.

I am hoping to take you along on my WBT journey this upcoming school year. I teach Title I reading. I have small groups all day long. I work with students K-5 grade. I work in two different elementary buildings within the same school district. In one building I have a very small room that I share with the speech teacher, counselor, nurse, and anyone else who seems to need it. Believe it or not, it works out pretty well. In the building that I spend the majority of my time, I don't have a room at all. I have a cart, that I try to keep most of what I need on, and travel from pod to pod to meet with my students. This also works out fairly well, but it does make WBT look different than it does in a contained classroom. I will try to share with you how we are using WBT in these different types of learning situations.

As for the summer, I attended the WBT National Conference in Louisiana this month. (It was great!!) Now I am getting ready to attend the Mid-West Conference in West Plains, MO coming up in two weeks. I can't wait.
